N900 + Vodafone + Ubuntu = mobile Internet?
 

Hey Ho.

I'm currently using Ubuntu for the first time in my life - so I'm a little weak in using all it's features and that's probably the reason why I'm having this problem :D

I'm owning the N900.
I use Vodafone D2 (explicitly it's 'Black and Mine') as a provider.
And it's Ubuntu 9.10 - Karmic Koala.

I'm connection my N900 via the data cable to my laptop.
The connection manager recognizes my mobile.
I tell him it is a vodafone-connection.
It connects (first the symbol of the network connection manager turns into a cycle and is spinning around, then its the antenne with 5/5 bars).
But as I call google.de nothing happens - he just "Waits for google.de".

In the settings I can see the dial-up-configuration which are set to:
Number: *99#
Username: vodafone
Password: vodafone
APN: web.vodafone.de

Does anyone know how to use the N900 + Ubunutu + Vodafone for mobile internet?

A friend of mine is using the N900 + Ubuntu + o2 (german provider) and he can access the internet via cable, bluetooth and WLAN -.-

Many thanks in advance !!
